Coll de la Torre (CT) (Cretaceous of Spain)

Also known as Tremp, Roma, Sant Romà d'Abella II, SRA II

Where: Cataluña, Spain (42.2° N, 1.1° W: paleocoordinates 34.3° N, 1.0° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Conques Formation (Tremp Group), Early/Lower Maastrichtian (70.6 - 66.0 Ma)

• in the "Lower Red Garumnian" strata

•The Conques Formation is equivalent to the "lower Red Garumen" facies. The Conques Formation was previously assigned a late maastrichtian age (Sellés and Villa 2015; Villa et al. 2015) Biostratigraphy and Sr stable isotope geochemistry suggest that the La Posa and Conques Formation are entirely early Maastrichtian, lying within chron C31r (see Caus et al. 2016; Oms et al. 2016; Fondevilla et al. 2016; Fondevilla et al. 2019).

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: crevasse splay; paleosol/pedogenic, concretionary, oncoidal, calcareous sandstone

• paleosols, crevasse splays, and levees
• "mainly composed of lutites, but with calcareous nodules in well-developed paleosols. Channel-like sandstone beds...that occasionally display oncolites at their bases, are interspersed among the lutites."

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: quarrying, mechanical,
